What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A hundred years ago, Achille Sclavo (1861-1930) published his book entitled "Per la Propaganda igienica. Scuola e Igiene" (The Propagation of Hygiene. Schools and Hygiene) which he dedicated "To elementary teachers, from whom Italy expects the most effective propaganda in favor of hygiene". The words of the dedication were profoundly felt by Sclavo and reveal a precise choice by the great hygienist. Sclavo was then at an advanced age and had devoted his whole life to studying hygiene and disseminating its basic concepts, to promote a healthier life for all. Nowadays, Sclavo's book "The Propagation of Hygiene. Schools and Hygiene" still remains an important statement to the commitment of the great hygienist to spreading a culture of hygiene, and public health in Italy. This was a commitment that Sclavo clearly felt throughout his life, as a teacher, as a scholar, as the entrepreneur who founded the Serotherapy and Vaccinogenic Institute in 1904, and mainly as a policymaker who spoke to all citizens, especially young people.
